To further the mission, Villa Joep collaborates with the Princess Máxima Center for pediatric oncology in Utrecht, the Netherlands. This collaboration entails a sponsored two-year fellowship at the Princess Máxima Center. This center for pediatric oncology is special as all children in the Netherlands diagnosed with cancer are treated there, plus it houses several research groups and first-rate research facilities. Villa Joep is currently recruiting candidates for a neuroblastoma research fellowship at the Princess Máxima Center.
Villa Joep is looking for a young, talented researcher – from outside the Netherlands – with a PhD and/or MD degree who wishes to pursue a career in neuroblastoma research in one of the research groups at the Princess Máxima Center. Villa Joep offers the opportunity to develop and implement a research project. The proposed research can be pre-clinical, clinical, or technology-driven research as long as it is aimed at neuroblastoma. Villa Joep will sponsor the fellowship with a grant of 200.000 Euro, which includes a salary and bench fee covering two years of employment.
